Something like picoPSU-80 but will accept 18-20v input sub $30

Anything else out there like the picoPSU-80 but will accept 18-20v input?

 

The picoPSU-80 takes only a 12v input and don't feel like buying another power brick just for it. The PicoPSU-80-WI-32 is 60 dollars plus shipping. I was hoping there was an another product on the market like the picoPSU-80 but would accept 19v. I already have a few 19v laptop power bricks and just need a dc-dc ATX psu. I was hoping there was something else on the market for sub $30. Thanks for your help

From a build log I was following he may have some more insight on the PSU after using it for a while:

Very nice psu but not what I was looking for.  For my low power build in that case I might as well get the PicoPSU-80-WI-32V for cheaper.. $60 plus shipping.

But I hope to find an even cheaper DC-DC psu...

Things start to get expensive at such small sizes but I think this one is a bit cheaper than the one you have selected but it's also double the power.

^ This, I kind of want one and turn my old 3rd gen PS3 into a pc and use one of these, but it's so expensive to upgrade it and then get the ps3 ready for installing everything.

that is what I would recommend myself , I had a bad experience with the pico not hitting rated voltages.

 

also the hdplex customer service is awesome!

 

edit- I know its $48 dollars but it is worth it .

 

I would almost say that 160w would of been enough for my g3258 and gtx 750 , but I am happy I went with the 250w or I would be bumming with my i5 :)

Yeah I know. Wish there was more competition and options for low power PSUs or dc-dc atx converters.  Yeah, that looks like the best value for a dc-dc atx converter that cn handle 19v input. Plenty of power too.

 

Its sad but cheaper to get this PicoPSU-80 + 60W Adapter Power Kit ($35 plus shipping)

Thanks!! Actually It will mostly be used as a file server and handle backups. Wanted a step up from a nas. 

 

This is the board/cpu I'm thinking of getting.

Maybe Intel's broadwell will bring something better to the table at a good price but right now this seems like a good value for my needs

Did you ever find a solution?

Can Anybody Link A Virtual Machine while I go download some RAM?
